highly recommended

Charlotte Tasker has always been a good girl, so she married the most decent, reliable man she could find even though their love life was a bit on the predictable side. Thirteen years later, she's a widowed mom who runs her company, prepares three vegetarian meals a day for her children, and volunteers for just about every good deed in town. But no one knows that Charlotte has a secret weakness for squirt cheese, erotic poetry-and the mystery man she lost her virginity to in a reckless roadside tryst, moments before she got engaged. They never exchanged names, and even now, Charlotte can't stop fantasizing about that spectacular stranger...

DEA agent Joe Bellacera isn't crazy about having to hide out in Minton, Ohio before testifying at the trial of a notorious drug lord. But he's handling it just fine...until he lays eyes on a fiery redhead and a hot little body he'd recognize anywhere. Joe's never had another woman like Charlotte since that day thirteen years ago. Now she's his neighbor-and strictly off-limits...

Amid the balmy, honeysuckle-scented breezes of a Midwestern summer, sense and sensibility are about to be subverted by an ice cream-loving dog, conspiring kids, and nosy neighbors. And when the Widow Tasker's fantasies meet the rock-hard reality of Agent Bellacera, let the fireworks begin...

A steamy romance

Another great book by Susan Donovan. First let me say that I love this author and I really did enjoy this book, but unlike her other books I did have trouble with the premise of this book. Mostly, I don't like it when the main characters of a romance novel fall head-over-heels for each other with so little time and dialog between them. It is asking too much of a reader to believe in the story. However, despite the story being darn right unrealistic -- it was a well written story with great characters, and the romance was quite steamy! It didn't have the comedy feel like her other books, but it was still a great read. I couldn't put it down, and I can't wait for her next book to come out.

Despite a couple of very improbable scenarios, this book was joyable and a pleasant read.

Public Displays of Affection

Liked the book. Enjoyed the characters. Although the characters were likeable and interesting enough, I didn't feel ilke I was drawn in as much as I could have been. Other than that, I really enjoyed the book and was rooting for them to be able to be together. I really liked the prologue at the end of the book. That is soooo much better than just ending a story without knowing what happens to the people.

Public Displays of Affection

Fifty cents, at a thrift store, and I finished it in less than a day. That shows how I easily get sucked into these sappy romance novels.
Okay, Charlotte lost her virginity in an anonymous encounter on the side of the road thirteen years ago, on her way to get proposed to. And her, and the man, Joe, always remember.
Now, thirteen years later, she is a widow with two kids. He's a DEA Agent going into hiding because some drug lord guy has a price on his head. And they end up being nextdoor neighbors.
Intriguing? I thought so. If you are a fan of these sappy romances, then go for it. But if you get offended at the slightest mention of sex then I would advise you stay away from this book because there's a whole lot of it in it.
